Rent & eviction protection

Is 1210 Stanyan St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1906
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1906
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1210 Stanyan Street, built in 1906, has experienced significant and ongoing maintenance and construction issues over the past two years, with multiple active building violations as of 2022-2023. The property is currently undergoing substantial renovation work, including bathroom and kitchen remodeling projects across multiple floors, new bathroom construction, and electrical system upgrades - though many of these permits have been suspended or are in "Triage" status. Since August 2022, there have been numerous complaints about unauthorized work, including demolition without permits, structural concerns, and safety issues. Recent complaints in late 2023 reported work being done with expired permits, including excavation and concrete removal, as well as concerns about potential asbestos removal. The building has multiple active violations from 2022 related to ventilation, mechanical equipment, window issues, sanitation, and several safety concerns, including problems with stairs, walls, and lead-based paint handling. While some older issues from 1997 regarding roof repairs have expired, the current permit activity and ongoing violations suggest significant ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. The property has also experienced various infrastructure issues in the surrounding area, including sidewalk defects reported in 2022-2023.

Risk rating

How 1210 Stanyan St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
3rdpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 510 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
